Resistant To Race On
There is no break in sight for Resistant following his win in the Margo Harland & Margaret Eades Handicap at Flemington.
Whilst that was the colt’s second win in seven starts, he has been consistent filling four minor placings.
He took up a prominent position and was always travelling well; inform apprentice, Patrick Moloney, always seemed to have the situation under control.
Resistant went into the race as a fit horse, that was demonstrated after pouncing on the leader, Salute To Jude, after heads were turned for home.
Punters were well off the mark when they put their faith in Mahican, installing him a $3.80 favourite, on the strength of finishing sixth, in a field of nine, back in March at Warwick Farm.
Resistant should have been the logical favourite, all the form was around him, yet he got under the guard of the astute punters and gave the bookies a result.
There are no spring plans for him, that was his fifth run in this campaign, while he holds his form and licking the bin clean, he will remain in work, there is the chance of picking up another race or two before the better performed three year olds come on the scene.
Resistant - A more than handy three year old
